On the global leather industry map, Shanghai holds a special place. Every year, it hosts the All China Leather Exhibition (ACLE) – an event regarded as the beating heart of not only China’s but also the world’s leather and footwear industry.

The scale of the exhibition, launched at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, clearly demonstrates its prestige: over 80,000 square meters, 25 countries, more than 1,000 companies, and over 31,000 visitors. ACLE is not just an exhibition, but a major platform for dialogue and partnerships within the global industry.

This year, the Uzcharmsanoat Association and its leading member enterprises are participating with a national stand. Uzbekistan’s pavilion stands out with its wide-ranging exposition:

• high-quality processed leather and semi-finished products,
• modern-design footwear and handbags,
• accessories made using eco-friendly technologies,
• leather materials for the automotive and furniture industries.

These products attract international attention not only for their quality but also for their creative approach and innovative design. During the exhibition, the Uzbek delegation is holding negotiations with leading manufacturers from China, Italy, Turkey, Korea, and other countries. At B2B meetings, export contracts are being discussed and preliminary agreements on a number of new projects are being reached.

The national stand is not only a mirror but also a gateway to new opportunities. Through it, Uzbekistan’s leather industry demonstrates its potential to the world and engages in equal dialogue with the global market.
